❒The performance of the parking assistance system
may also be affected by the position of the
sensors. For example, if the geometry is altered
(as a result of wear of the shock absorbers,
suspension), the tyres are changed, the vehicle is
too heavily laden or specific tuning is carried
out that lowers the vehicle.
❒ The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact with
the car in the bottom part.
AT THE FILLING STATIONMOTORI DIESEL - Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container. Pour the additive into the tank before the
diesel fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel
using locally available diesel. In this case, it is also
advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres
provided with the car.
A Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in section
"Technical specifications".
The winter features of these tyres are reduced
considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm.
Replace them in this case.
Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions
of use or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is much lower than that
of standard tyres. Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice
in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which
states the maximum speed allowed by the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability.
Remember that you should not change the rotation
direction of the tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres.
You should, however, always stick to the speed
limits of the Road Traffic Code.
